Hi!

I am currently working on a Lightshaft shader made with horde3D. It looks like this:

The code is not final, but I still put a preliminary version of it on my blog at http://probesys.blogspot.com/

Does anyone have made a similar shader or have any comments or improvement suggestion?

I don't have any technical advice, I just wanted to say that it is nice to see this being done with Horde3D :)

Very nice effect -- but I'm guessing that with 100 samples per pixel it's probably quite expensive?

Perhaps if you down-sample the input texture you can get away with using less samples.

Thanks guys for your comments! Yes you're right DarkAngel, 100 samples is quite fill-rate intensive. I did a few experiments with less samples, like 50 or 30, and it creates some artifacts, that are even more noticeable when the lightshafts are moving. But as you mentionned, using smaller buffers helps because it blurs most the artifacts. I am still working on it to get the best quality/performance ratio, but I will post my final code if some people are interested. As of now the performances are 310 fps with 100 sample, 500 fps with 50 samples, and 665 fps with 30 samples all in 1024x768 with my GTX 470.

Thanks DarkAngel for your very good advices!

I tried to make similar shader, but mine only uses 20 samples. It does two passes, first one works similar to yours, except only using 10 samples, writes result to a half resolution buffer (not necessary, but speeds up things a bit and looks almost identical), and second pass is just a simple 10-sample radial blur. In the end it looks more or less same as one 100-sample pass.

Great work, it's nice to see how your project progresses! I especially like your lit particles...

as i late to this forum..... i don't know worstplayer is regular or not to this forum now, it would be really cool if i get your shader...... :|

Hi

I use the lightshaft shader from probesys's blog, and rewrite the HDR pipeline :( but i didn't getting the exact result :oops: here how i setup the shader on HDR pipeline....

can anybody please tell me the correct way to setup this shader to pipeline....

Umm, you are probably having glitches because of this line:
vec4 v = (gl_ProjectionMatrix * gl_ModelViewMatrix * gl_LightSource[0].position); // in VS_LIGHTSHAFT
Edit: the whole vertex shader is incorrect. You should use built-in horde's variables for positions and texture coordinates. Check documentation: link (check Pipeline specification, particularly the end of the page)

gl_LightSource - it is a variable that is used if you use fixed function pipeline. Horde does not use fixed function pipeline, so this variable is always 0.
You should use only horde's built-in variables or your custom one.
Please note that this shader was built for earlier version of Horde (it seems that it was written for Beta 2), so some things are different in shaders now.
Also variables that are used for lighting are only available during light pass, so variables like lightPos will only be available when you <DoForwardLightLoop class="~Translucent" /> and not on later stages.

So it's problem with the lightPos right?, i have read the manual doc, it's says something {uniform vec4 lightPos} is reserved by the engine, and if i write it correctly the engine will send the right value, so i write {varying vec3 lightPos} instead of {uniform vec4 lightPos} but it's not working again :cry: ......

gl_ProjectionMatrix * gl_ModelViewMatrix * gl_LightSource[0].position
All these variables are incorrect (they are 0, because they are not set by the engine).
Check VS_General
You should use
uniform mat4 viewProjMat;
uniform vec3 viewerPos;
attribute vec3 vertPos;
attribute vec2 texCoords0;
varying vec4 pos, vsPos;
varying vec2 texCoords;

void main()
{
...
pos = calcWorldPos( vec4( vertPos, 1.0 ) );
// Calculate texture coordinates and clip space position
texCoords = texCoords0;
gl_Position = viewProjMat * pos;
}

This shader is for models in 3d space. If lightshaft is a post-processing effect, which it likely is, and is drawn using fullscreen quad, than take a look at VS_QUAD shader (in deferredLighting.shader).

Yep! it's a post process...
I just changed the shader, i thing its some kind of working but its flashing the screen badly when i rotating the camera :cry:
Here what i rewrote... :oops:
Code:
[[VS_LIGHTSHAFT]]
// =================================================================================================
uniform mat4 projMat;
uniform vec4 lightPos;
varying vec3 lPos;
attribute vec3 vertPos;
varying vec2 texCoords;

void main(void)
{
   vec4 v = lightPos.xyzw;
   lPos = v.xyz / v.w;
   //gl_Position = ftransform();
   gl_Position = projMat * vec4( vertPos, 1 );
   texCoords = vertPos.xy;
   }

[[FS_LIGHTSHAFT]]
// =================================================================================================
uniform sampler2D sceneTex;
//uniform vec4 lPos;
varying vec3 lPos; //Edited  :mrgreen:
varying vec2 texCoords;
void main()
{
   int NUM_SAMPLES = 100;
   float density = 0.9;
   float illuminationDecay = 1.0;
   float weight = 0.010;
   float decay = 0.99;
 
   vec2 uv = texCoords.xy;
   
  vec2 deltaTexCoord = uv - ((lPos.xy + vec2(1.0, 1.0)) / 2.0);

   deltaTexCoord = deltaTexCoord / (float(NUM_SAMPLES) * density);
     
   vec3 color = texture2D(sceneTex, uv).xyz;
 
   for(int i=0; i<NUM_SAMPLES; ++i)
   {
      uv -= deltaTexCoord;
      vec3 sample = texture2D(sceneTex, uv).xyz;
      sample = sample * illuminationDecay * weight;
      color += sample;
      illuminationDecay = illuminationDecay * decay;
   }
   
   gl_FragColor = vec4(color, 1.0);
}

Holly! cow the bug has been fixed :lol:
:D
here is the problem... :mrgreen:
it should be {varying vec3 lPos;} not this {uniform vec4 lPos;}...
:wink:
Thank you....

You should probably add a separate light in your scene with the lighting context LIGHTSHAFT in order to draw correctly.
Otherwise lightPos is not available at the time of rendering (it is always zero).

You only have lightPos during this stage:
<Stage id="Lighting">
<DoForwardLightLoop class="~Translucent" />
</Stage>

But you are trying to use it in
<Stage id="GodRayStage">
<!--Volumetric Light PostProcess-->
<SwitchTarget target="GODRAY" />
<ClearTarget colBuf0="true" />
<BindBuffer sampler="sceneTex" sourceRT="HDRBUF" bufIndex="0" />
<DrawQuad material="pipelines/postHDR.material.xml" context="LIGHTSHAFT" />
<!--Volumetric Light PostProcess End-->
<UnbindBuffers />
</Stage>

Either add <DoForwardLightLoop class="..." /> where ... is the class of your lightshaft light, or you'll have to determine your light position some other way.
